The air, which had been filled with chattering and laughter just a moment ago, instantly fell silent.
Carmen's smile cracked, and she looked around for Axton only to find out he was no longer in the room with them.
Returning her gaze to Hazel, she smiled forcefully, "G-Grandmother, it's really nice to have you back."
Hazel said nothing and simply walked past her, flanked by a group of Senior Maids.
As she left, the maids with Carmen exchanged quiet glances.
They could all feel the growing anger in her and didn't dare to look up.
As they stood, they each deliberated inwardly on what to do to cheer her up.
After a while, someone looked up and cautiously informed, "Luna, the kitchen staff added different new cuisines for the party and the few I had a taste of were all really delicious."
Carmen glanced around, staring at the said cusines with an empty look in her eyes.
After a while, she smacked her lips loudly. "Is that so? Bring me a plate of each, then."
